My guest this week is Mike Davis – social entrepreneur, systems thinker, and Head of Social Innovation and Impact at Good Shepherd, one of Australia’s leading organisations supporting women, girls and families.
Mike is best known as the founder of Humans of Purpose and has spent the past decade working across sectors to embed strategy, storytelling, and systems change in the heart of purpose-led organisations. Now at Good Shepherd, he’s focused on harnessing innovation – including the emerging role of AI – to drive scalable, sustainable outcomes for communities.
With deep roots in the for-purpose ecosystem, Mike brings a rare combination of practical experience, strategic foresight and values-driven leadership. He’s passionate about helping mission-led organisations embrace the future with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
In this episode, we explore Mike’s definition of innovation, his vision for inclusive tech adoption in the social sector, and why now is the time for courage, systems thinking, and bold experimentation.
